Delayed Hip Action

10-15-B DELAYED The Shoulders lead and power the Backstroke Hip Turn – or at least lead. The Hips then take over and lead and power the Downstroke Shoulder Turn. Use this Hip Turn to prevent overswinging. Turn the Hips a predetermined amount – or none at all – and then “semi-lock” them at that point before starting back with either the Shoulders or the Club. This will stop the Shoulder Turn at any preselected place, tighten the Left Side tension and set the stage perfectly for the Hips to initiate the Downstroke Shoulder Acceleration. But remember, the shorter the Backstroke Turn, the steeper the Plane Angle (10-13-D). See 2-N and 7-17.
